—------------------—

If he could cross through the internet cable, Non-Chief Ash would definitely drill through it to find Newbie Ash.

Even though he was the one who asked, as a Non-Chief Ash, seeing others flaunt their luck in the group, that feeling of wanting to hit someone was truly something only he understood!

And this wasn't just any flaunting; it was S-rank! S-rank!

What the hell is the concept of S-rank!

There were hundreds of Ash in the group, each having drawn hundreds of times, with some even drawing up to three hundred times. All together, only one or two had ever gotten an S-rank.

In contrast, this newcomer, how many times had he drawn in total?

It seemed like three times before, and this time, he didn't know how many, but it shouldn't be more than five. Added together, it was less than ten times!

Two S-ranks in less than ten draws? His luck was invincible!

You shouldn't be called Newbie Ash anymore; you should be called the Chosen One!

[Champion Ash: Another S-rank? This probability is indeed a bit exaggerated. It's simply the opposite of Non-Chief Ash. I feel like you can change your name to European Emperor.]

[Newbie Ash: Heh... hehe, let's not. I'm afraid the big shots in the group will beat me up.]

[Aura Hero Ash: What ability is that S-rank you drew? How many times did you draw?]

[Newbie Ash: The ability is called... a one-time ability, Chosen One's Radiance. I drew three times in total. Another one is an A-rank special attack ability limit increase, and one is a C-rank Beginner Breeder.]

[Non-Chief Ash: ...]

I'm tired. Let it all be destroyed. Why do Such Lucky People exist in this world? Why? Why?

He had known for a long time that the world was unfair, but to be unfair to this extent was truly a bit outrageous!

Why did he feel that the newcomer joined just to torment him? This shouldn't be his illusion, right?

Leaving aside Non-Chief Ash's mental breakdown, the three abilities drawn by Newbie Ash also greatly surprised everyone in the group.

Although they were all people who didn't really need the abilities from the group, as they had already reached the peak of their respective fields, or at least were quite outstanding, those abilities were at most just icing on the cake for them.

But this kind of luck was truly among the best in the group.

Even if Newbie Ash only drew D-rank and E-rank abilities from now on, he would still be the luckiest person in the group.

After all, no one in the group had ever drawn more than one S-rank ability.

In terms of luck, Newbie Ash had already become the strongest in the group!

[Champion Ash: Chosen One's Radiance... an unknown ability, and it's one-time. It sounds like it should be very good. S-rank abilities should come with an 'instruction manual' from the chat group. You can check it out then.]

Champion Ash's reminder made Ash remember that S-rank abilities come with instructions, located on the light spot in his mind. So, even if people in the group didn't know the ability's function, it didn't matter, as long as the chat group could provide the usage method.

[Breeder Ash: Let's not talk about the S-rank ability yet; that C-rank ability is quite good! The C-rank Breeder ability allows you to comprehensively understand the basic knowledge of a Breeder, such as what kind of Pokémon prefer what flavors, and which part of a certain type of Pokémon's body to massage to make it more comfortable, and so on.]

[Breeder Ash: With this ability, you can save a lot of time memorizing knowledge and directly learn advanced Breeder training from me.]

The person most satisfied with Ash drawing this C-rank ability was naturally Breeder Ash. Drawing this ability meant that Newbie Ash was one step closer to the path of a Breeder.

In the future, he would inevitably be more dedicated to the profession of a Breeder, and Breeder Ash could also enjoy the feeling of having an apprentice more.

He had always wanted someone in the group to discuss Breeder-related knowledge with him. Although there was still no one to discuss with, and it was just him unilaterally teaching others, for Breeder Ash, it was still a very satisfying thing.

[Harem King Ash: What a pity, I didn't draw an ability related to me; otherwise, I could also teach you well, and they wouldn't have any reason to stop me.]

There was actually another person in the group who wanted to proselytize, and that was Harem King Ash. Compared to everyone else who would at least chat with Breeder Ash and learn some breeding knowledge, no one in the group wanted to learn Harem King Ash's abilities and techniques!

The reason, of course, was that many Ash had no interest in building a harem. Some Ash had partners, but only Harem King Ash had many partners, and they almost all focused on Pokémon, so they had no mind to think about finding more partners or anything.

This led to Harem King Ash wanting to proselytize, but no one paid him any attention. Now that a blank slate had finally arrived, they were still stopping him, saying something about not indoctrinating the newcomer with those useless things before he became an excellent Trainer.

That's why Harem King Ash felt it was a pity... If Newbie Ash had drawn an ability related to picking up girls, then he would have a legitimate reason to proselytize, just like Breeder Ash!

[Miner Ash: Heh heh, don't come out and harm people. And with that effort to learn some picking up girls techniques from you, it's better to learn mining from me. Those shimmering ores are what people should pursue even at the cost of their lives!]

[Harem King Ash: Huh? Are you, this miner, crazy? You actually want to proselytize about mining? Don't mislead people!]

[Miner Ash: Bullshit, you're the one misleading people!]

[Champion Ash: Ahem, stop arguing. The newcomer's main priority now is still breeding and training Pokémon. You two who want to proselytize should save your breath... Newcomer, you should go out and see what your newly acquired ability is. This group probably won't quiet down for a while.]

[Newbie Ash: Okay.]

Ash also felt that staying here seemed a bit ominous. Everyone seemed to be about to argue because of him. Now, lurking was the best choice.

Therefore, Ash decisively followed Champion Ash's suggestion and left the chat group... In the real world, Ash opened his eyes to a night sky shimmering with countless stars, and a crescent moon hung high in the star-studded night.

It was already past midnight, and everyone, including Pikachu, was asleep, so no one noticed that he was awake.

Ash looked left and right, then sank into his mind. In his mind, besides the chat group, there was indeed another light spot.

Ash then clicked on the light spot, and a surge of information rushed into his mind.

[Chosen One's Radiance: Every Chosen One possesses immense luck. Powerful luck allows them to encounter rare, hard-to-find Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon, but that requires time accumulation and is an unstable passive ability. It's uncertain when or where they will encounter them. The one-time Chosen One's Radiance allows the drawer to encounter extremely rare Pokémon within three days and has a high probability of capturing them. It is automatically considered used when the light spot is clicked.]
